Sworgadwārī (स्वर्गद्वारी Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a hilltop temple and pilgrimage site in Pyuthan District, Nepal, commemorating the special role of cows in Hinduism. It is said to have been founded by Guru Mahārāj Nārāyaṇa Gautama Khāṭrī,[1] also known as Svāmī Hamsānanda, who spent most of his life in the area, herding and milking thousands of cows.[2][3]
Swargadwārī is considered one of Nepal's top pilgrimage sites[4][5] and is listed in the national inventory of cultural and historic heritage sites.[6]
As of 2009, a cable car to the temple complex was under construction.[7] In the aftermath of the 1996-2006 Nepalese Civil War, donations of straw and hay had diminished to the point where resident cattle at Swargadwārī were in danger of starving.[8][9]
